Abstract

Hypertension, often termed a "silent killer" due to its asymptomatic nature, is a chronic condition that significantly elevates the risk of cardiovascular mortality. This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the correlation between perceived stress levels, sleep quality, and blood pressure among medical students at Universitas Prima Indonesia in class 2021. This study used a cross-sectional observational design. A purposive sample of 56 medical students was recruited based on the predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected using the Perceived Stress Scale-10 (PSS-10) to assess stress levels, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to evaluate sleep quality, and a digital sphygmomanometer to measure blood pressure. The findings revealed that the majority of respondents (75%) reported moderate stress levels, 66.1% had poor sleep quality, and 82.1% exhibited normal blood pressure. These results suggest a correlation between perceived stress, sleep quality, and blood pressure among medical students at Universitas Prima Indonesia, Class 2021.

Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is a significant global health concern. Chest radiography is an essential tool for the diagnosis and monitoring of TB treatment. This retrospective cohort study aimed to analyze changes in chest radiographic findings among TB patients before and after treatment at Royal Prima Hospital. The study included 30 patients with TB who underwent repeated chest radiography between May 2023 and May 2024. Patient data were collected from the medical records. Descriptive analysis and the chi-square test were used to compare changes in radiographic findings between the treatment and non-treatment groups. Of the 30 patients, 15 (50%) showed positive changes on post-treatment radiographs, while the remaining 15 (50%) did not. The Chi-Square test revealed a significant difference (P < 0.05) between the two groups. Patients who received treatment had four-fold higher odds of experiencing radiographic changes than those who did not. These findings align with those of previous research demonstrating the efficacy of TB treatment in the repair of lung damage. Positive changes in post-treatment radiographs indicated that the treatment effectively suppressed Mycobacterium tuberculosis growth and facilitated lung tissue repair. Pulmonary TB treatment exerts a significant impact on changes in chest radiographic findings. This study underscores the importance of adequate TB treatment to achieve cure and prevent complications.

Abstract

Myopia, a common refractive error, has seen a significant global increase, particularly among young adults. This study aims to investigate the association between genetic factors, short-distance activity, and the incidence of myopia among medical students. A cross-sectional survey design was employed to collect data from medical students in batches 2022 and 2023. Chi-square tests were used to analyze the relationship between the variables. Demographic data revealed a predominantly young female population, with a high proportion of students enrolled in the 2023 academic year. A significant number of students were diagnosed with myopia, ranging from low to high degrees. Risk factor analysis indicated a strong association between reduced short-distance activity and increased myopia risk. Additionally, a family history of myopia emerged as a significant genetic predisposition to the condition. These findings highlight the importance of addressing both environmental and genetic factors to prevent and manage myopia among medical students. Future longitudinal studies with larger sample sizes are needed to further explore the temporal relationship between risk factors and myopia progression.

Abstract

Occupational noise, particularly from industrial machinery and equipment, is a potential risk factor for elevated blood pressure. This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the association between noise intensity and blood pressure changes among workers in the GCS department of PT. Pertamina EP Asset 1 Pangkalan Susu Field. All workers in five GCS units (n=30) participated. Noise intensity was measured using a sound level meter, and blood pressure was measured before and after work. Data analysis employed chi-square and paired t-tests with a significance level of 5%. Results showed no significant association between noise intensity and systolic blood pressure increase (p=0.317). However, a significant relationship was found between noise intensity and diastolic blood pressure increase (p=0.001). It can be concluded that there is a significant difference in systolic and diastolic blood pressure before and after work. Although noise intensity does not directly affect systolic blood pressure, it has a significant impact on increasing diastolic blood pressure.

Abstract

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a respiratory disease characterized by a reduction in lung capacity and is the third leading cause of death worldwide. COPD is a complex disease involving various environmental and genetic factors. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of COPD among TB patients at Royal Prima Hospital in Medan. This was a retrospective descriptive study with a cross-sectional design. The population of this study was all outpatient TB medical records at Royal Prima Hospital in Medan. Purposive sampling was used, resulting in a sample size of 68 individuals. Data was analyzed univariately using descriptive statistics presented in frequency distribution tables and percentages. The results showed that most COPD patients at Royal Prima Hospital were elderly (73.5%), male (85.3%), employed (64.7%), had a junior high school education (47.1%), had suffered from COPD for less than 10 years (70.3%), and were active smokers (63.2%). Most COPD patients were categorized as having moderate disease (39.7%). It is hoped that Royal Prima Hospital will continue to develop prevention programs for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease to reduce the number of cases, and that COPD patients who frequently visit healthcare facilities will receive instructions on self-care management for their long-term condition to reduce disease severity.

Abstract

Decreased estrogen levels during menopause are often associated with various health problems, one of which is carbohydrate metabolism disorders characterized by changes in blood sugar levels. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and blood sugar levels in menopausal women. This study is an analytic descriptive study with a cross-sectional design. The research sample involved all women aged 40-60 years who met the inclusion criteria. The results showed that most of the respondents (75%) were included in the late elderly category (age >56 years). Based on BMI, the majority of respondents (35%) were categorized as obesity I. Additionally, 51.7% of respondents had high blood glucose levels. Statistical analysis revealed a significant relationship between age status and blood glucose levels (p-value = 0.000). Similarly, there was a significant relationship between BMI and blood glucose levels (p-value = 0.026). These results indicate that age and obesity are factors associated with increased blood sugar levels in menopausal women.

Abstract

Gastritis, defined as inflammation of the stomach lining, can arise from various factors, including Helicobacter pylori infection, stress, poor dietary habits, and the use of certain medications. Medical students represent a population particularly susceptible to gastritis due to high academic pressure, irregular eating patterns, and smoking habits. This study aimed to analyze the risk factors for gastritis among medical students at Prima Indonesia University. This study employed a cross-sectional design involving 123 medical students. Data were collected through questionnaires, and statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 27. The majority of the study subjects were 21 years old (61.8%) and female (74.8%). Irregular eating habits (82.1%), coffee consumption (74%), and academic stress (79.7%) were prevalent among the subjects. More than half of the subjects had a history of gastritis (57.7%). The risk factors significantly associated with gastritis included female sex (OR=2.362; 95% CI: 1.030-5.414), irregular eating patterns (OR=3.707; 95% CI: 1.385-9.918), coffee consumption (OR=2.569; 95% CI: 1.126-5.861), and academic stress (OR=3.062; 95% CI: 1.227-7.638). Age did not significantly affect the risk of gastritis. Females were found to be more susceptible to gastritis than males, possibly due to hormonal influences and lifestyle factors. Irregular eating patterns and coffee consumption increased the risk of gastritis; however, smoking habits did not show a significant association. Academic stress was identified as an important risk factor, as it can increase gastric acid production. The risk factors significantly associated with gastritis among medical students were female sex, irregular eating patterns, coffee consumption, and academic stress.

Abstract

Regular consumption of probiotic drinks has been shown to provide numerous benefits for human health. One of the primary benefits is boosting the immune system by promoting optimal digestive health. Ten brands of probiotic milk were collected, and bacterial isolates were obtained through a series of isolation and purification steps. The characterization of these isolates involved morphological and biochemical tests, including Gram staining, catalase activity assessment, and tolerance testing under simulated gastric conditions. The cholesterol-lowering activity of the isolates was evaluated in vitro by assessing their ability to reduce cholesterol levels in a simulated intestinal environment. The results demonstrated the presence of potential probiotic strains with cholesterol-lowering activity, providing a foundation for further research into the development of functional dairy products with cholesterol-lowering properties. The results indicated that probiotic milk from commercial beverages demonstrated a favorable response to bile salts in individuals with high cholesterol levels. Probiotic bacteria, such as Lactobacillus acidophilus, can survive in bile, facilitating the deconjugation of bile salts. This suggests that regular consumption of probiotic milk may aid in managing cholesterol levels in individuals with unhealthy lipid profiles. A significant relationship exists between the tolerance of probiotic milk to the digestive environment and its effectiveness in managing cholesterol. Mechanisms including bile salt deconjugation, short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production, and increased cholesterol excretion contribute to cholesterol management. With appropriate formulation, probiotic milk can effectively control cholesterol levels, particularly in individuals at risk for cardiovascular disease.

Abstract

This study investigates the potential of white turmeric (Curcuma zedoaria Rosc.) rhizome extract as a cost-effective treatment for managing diabetes, focusing on its impact on pancreatic histopathology and blood glucose levels in diabetic Wistar rats. The research employed a randomized pre-test and post-test control group design, with rats induced with alloxan to simulate diabetes. The treatment groups received varying doses of white turmeric extract (250 mg/kg BW, 500 mg/kg BW, and 750 mg/kg BW) for 14 days. Histopathological analysis of the pancreas revealed that the white turmeric extract groups showed no signs of edema, inflammation, or necrosis, indicating a protective effect. Blood glucose level measurements demonstrated that the 500 mg/kg BW dose exhibited the most optimal results in lowering blood glucose levels. Statistical analysis using ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis tests indicated significant differences between groups. These findings suggest that white turmeric extract, particularly at a dosage of 500 mg/kg BW, holds promise as a complementary treatment for managing diabetes by improving pancreatic health and reducing blood glucose levels. Further research is warranted to explore the underlying mechanisms and optimize its application.

Abstract

This research investigates the effectiveness of counseling methods, incorporating seminar models and PowerPoint presentations, in enhancing students’ knowledge and preparedness for fire emergency response at Universitas Prima Indonesia. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental, one-group pretest-posttest design was employed, involving 78 students from the Public Health Bachelor Program. The intervention comprised four counseling sessions covering basic fire knowledge, preparedness steps, emergency actions, and the use of firefighting equipment. Data was collected through questionnaires administered before and after the intervention, assessing students' knowledge of fire extinguishers, hydrants, fire alarms, assembly points, emergency exits, and emergency stairs. The results indicated a significant positive impact, with post-test scores for both knowledge and preparedness substantially higher than pre-test scores (p < 0.001). Before the intervention, only 25.6% of participants demonstrated good knowledge, while after the intervention, 97.4% achieved this level. Similarly, preparedness levels significantly increased, with 97.4% of participants feeling ready after the intervention compared to only 19.2% before. The study underscores the effectiveness of the implemented counseling methods and supports the recommendation for continuous fire safety education to ensure sustained preparedness.
